Tech firm on track to break £50m turnover barrier

A tech firm marking more than two decades in business says it is on course to post turnover of more than £50m this year.

Sheffield-based Millgate was established in 1996 in Rotherham with three staff providing IT and communication solutions for businesses in Yorkshire.

Today it employs 115 people and serves more than 6,000 customers across the UK.

Managing director Chris Calvert said: “In the last 21 years connecting people and sharing information has become more important than ever, as a result of our 24-7 society, the rise of social media and smart technology, as well as the uptake in cloud technology in ever-evolving workplaces.

“Because we are partnered with global telecom and IT suppliers, Millgate has the freedom to select products by suitability and not availability, providing the most productive and cost-effectiveend-to-end IT solution for each client, as well as 24/7 maintenance service to businesses of all sizes.

“Buoyed by our growth in managed IT services and cloud technology sales, in the last five years alone we have more than doubled turnover from £22m in 2012 as well as job creation – increasing our workforce from 57 to 115 in the same period.”
